CHAPTER 7
Maintaining the ERX System
Removing SFPs
To remove the SFPs:
1Obtain an antistatic container for the SFPs you will remove (see Storing Modules and Components, earlier in this chapter).
2Put the antistatic wrist strap on your wrist, and connect the strap to the ESD grounding jack on the system.
3Disconnect the cables from one of the SFPs on the module.
4Identify the release mechanism for the SFP.
Different SFPs use different release mechanisms (see Figure
•A button that you press inward
•A ring that you press inward
•A bar that you pull sideways, then outward
•A tab that you pull sideways, then outward
Release bar, button, or tab

5Release the SFP and pull it out of the slot.
6Place the SFP in an antistatic bag.
7If you are using the redundant port on the ERX GE I/O module, repeat steps 3 through 6 for the other SFP.
Caution: For port redundancy to operate correctly, both the primary and redundant ports on an ERX GE I/O module must use the same type of SFP.
